Lyrics by: Jean R Voltaire

Yon bon jou m'leve m'kite Ayiti
Pou'm al chèche lavi
Ak chagrin nan kè'm e ak dlo nan je'm
Mwen te' oblije pati
Kite fanmi'm ak zanmi'm
M'echwe ozetazuni
Panse lavi pral souri'm
Men le'm vin'n reyalite
M'te byen konte mal kalkile
Mezanmi gad jan'm mele, woy!
Yo te fè'm panse sete peyi Bondye
Kot lèt ak myèl ap koule
Poutan nan peyi blan gason pa kanpe
Sutou lè'w san papye
Se leve al van kouray
Pou voye'on de goud lakay
Mezanmi ala de tray
Moun lakay ki pa konen
Panse ke m'ap byen menen
Poutan m'ap viv nan chagrin

Paske m'se
Refugie nan peyi etranje
Refugie se yon kwa m'ap pote

Move van lavi ak la nostalji
Fè tèt mwen vle pati
M'patap janm panse mizè ekziste
Nan peyi etranje
Men pwoblè, diskriminasyon
Melanje'ak ekplwatasyon
Retire'm nan iluzyon
Se kounia m'reyalize
Ke nan peyi civilize
Se esklavaj modènize
Je'm wè gwo progrè poutan nan fon kè'm
M'ap viv nan gwo doulè
Pou'm ta santi'm byen, m'ta fè pakèt mwen
Tounen nan peyi mwen
Men si'm tounen de bwa pandye
Zòt pral pale nan koze'm
Nan betiz yo pral pase'm
M'tankou'on zwazo yo pyeje
2 pye'm pran nan'on sèl soulyè
Mezanmi mwen antranve

Moun lakay rele'm dispora
San yo pa konen m'pran na 3 wa
Gen sak trete'm kòm si'm se wa
Panse m'ap fè dola
Poutan pwoblèm mwen
Yo pil sou pil
M'preske pèdu tèt mwen
Nan peye bil
Men so konen yo pa konen
Kijan kè mwen ape senyen
M'ta bay tiut sa mwen genyen
Pou'm retounen viv lakay mwen

Five Diaspora Winter Anthems

A few weeks ago, all 50 states reached freezing temperatures. The Polar vortex may be gone, but most of us still can't feel our toes. Since humans can't hibernate, staying in and hunkering down is only a temporary fix. Plus, we have to brave the cold to pay those bills. Good thing, we have music to warm our souls. Quite a few Haitian artists have migrated to the States, Canada, and Europe. They've all experienced the winter blues and expressed their lingering homesickness in song. Here are a few of our favorites. They're a potent cocktail of frustration and nostalgia. We'd cry,...

BelO came. He sang. He conquered.

4Mula's Chapter 1

Jude and Carl Edouard (Carlitow) Deslouches have been on our radar since they dropped Se Ou Mwen Vle and the subsequent EP. Once in a while, the brothers would tease us with a new track. Late last year, they introduced 4Mula, a new band with fellow Montrealites and former Vibrasyon members, Romuald Paul and Benjamin Guirand. Their debut, "Chapter 1", is a groovy ride anchored by the Deslouches' warm vocals. It's the kind of album that will jump start any party and keep it rocking all night long. All you need is an aux cord. We...
